I’m guessing that it served its last meal nearly a hundred years ago. Because of the dryness out here, many buildings don’t look much different than what I presume they looked like then. The house right next to the courthouse has a lot of now dormant plants in the yard, but it is warming up, and they are starting to come to life. The resident was out with a hose bringing the plants back to life, while her four little black and white dogs were prancing around enjoying the out of doors. I don’t know what kind of dogs they were – too small to be Jack Russell Terriers, but maybe some kind of miniature rat terriers. I didn’t take a picture of them – seemed too invasive for a private citizen. I should have gone to talk to her and asked permission. Next time I will be more brave.

Good points! I didn’t even think of those things!! But you’re so very right? What, indeed, were the topics of the day? We can only guess from what we see in movies and television. I expect the menu might have been somewhat limited because of the time it took to get anything, let alone perishable food, from the larger cities out here to the boonies. I don’t know if some produce was grown around here during those times. Maybe more land was under planting with agricultural things. Guess I need to do some research. ;-> Thanks for bringing up these interesting aspects.

I don’t know if that building has been moved, or if the tracks were someplace further away at the time, but that is a very good point! You see pictures of trains that close to stations, so I guess it is possible that that is really the way it was. I don’t think very many of the buildings have been moved there, but I’m not a student of Tombstone history. I know there is some story about the underground tunnels under the streets there. I should go look it up. Thanks for the push! ;->
